Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you

[Refrain]
Away, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri

[Verse 2]
'Tis seven long years since last I saw you
Away you rolling river
'Tis seven long years since last I saw you

[Refrain]
Away, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Oh, Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave you
Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you

[Outro]
Away, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri
